Erzelemreguláció

Erzelemreguláció, often translated as emotion regulation, refers to the processes individuals use to influence which emotions they have, when they have them, and how they experience and express these emotions. It is a fundamental aspect of human psychology and is crucial for effective social functioning and overall well-being.

These regulation processes can be conscious or unconscious. They involve a variety of strategies, including reappraisal (changing the way one thinks about a situation to alter its emotional impact) and suppression (reducing the outward expression of an emotion). Other strategies might involve seeking out or avoiding certain situations, modifying one's thoughts or behaviors, or even altering physiological responses.

Effective emotion regulation is associated with better mental health, including reduced risk of depression and anxiety, and improved interpersonal relationships. Conversely, difficulties in emotion regulation are often implicated in various psychological disorders. The ability to regulate emotions develops over time and can be influenced by factors such as upbringing, culture, and individual learning experiences. Understanding and improving emotion regulation strategies is a key focus in therapeutic interventions.
